Vagabonding: (1) the act of leaving behind the orderly world to travel independently for an extended period of time. (2) a privately meaningful manner of travel that emphasises creativity, adventure, awareness, simplicity, discovery, independence, realism, self-reliance and the growth of the spirit. (3) a deliberate way of living that makes freedom to travel possible.
